    Default Back from the dead

    After much thinking I decided to release another version of Pike & Musket TW mod for MTW VI before the Xmas.

    It will be called PMTW 1.5.

    It is still not the final release, but that will take too much time anyway, so I will allow playing much less sophisticated product, but still it has a lot of to offer:

    - new campaign map,
    - more than 600 completely new units from almost all nations of that time,
    - new techtree with more than 70 completely new buildings and various structures,
    - new historical battles with one historical campaign,
    - new portrait sets and some new music ( films will be added later),
    - new unit animations including warwagons, musketeers, pikemen in morions and Polish Husaria,
    - 4 campaigns including English Civil Wars,
    - more than 150 historical heroes,
    - modified system of homelands, buildable mercenaries and others,
    - dozens of new office titles,
    - three controll panels - muslim, westerneuropean and Polish,
    - about 30 factions in every single era available to play,

    Overall almost complete recreation of 1480-1700 era's wars, politics and economy including colonisation of Americas and other lands overseas.

    some screenshots




























    You don't have to wait till Xmas - if you want to enjoy it quicker volunteer as a beta tester - they will get it in about two weeks' time.

    Details in XVI-XVII thread in Pike and Musket sub-forum, link in my sign.

    Regards Cegorach

    Great work especially on the Husaria. I always wanted to use them in battle. Do they also cause fear when charging in mass due to the noise from the feathers?

    This site can be very confusing so, please don't flame me.....ok flame me anyway....but could some kind, very kind person please point me to where all the other mods for downloads are. Thank you very much.
    My mind goes back to things, just like the cosmic battle. When sword was my rattle. Shield was my bib, and sarcophagi my crib. So come to Umoja, Kujichagulia, Ujima, Ujamaa, and purpose stands for Nia, Kuumba, Imani, daughter named Simani.

    I highly doubt the noise from feathers would be noticeable considereing the massive yelling, thundering hooves, clash of steel on steel and constant barrages of cannon and musket fire.

    That's just what I heard long ago in history class. No doubt it has a greater effect if you can't see them. Besides, what else would be the reason for all that elaborate feather work? Decorations only go so far and I know the noise would be quite noticeable if it was coming from behind you .

    TO ALL

    I decided to delay the release by 10-14 days, so it will be available either in the week after the Christmas or just after the New Year's Day.

    I want to give the testers more time, because there were several technical problems with beta tests.

    In addition I need more testers or there will be another delay

    factions ( 2 for each tester):

    The Dutch, Hungary, Poland, England, Sweden, Brandenburg, Portugal, The Knights of St. John ( Maltanese or Hospitallier).

    Volunteers please contact my by PMs as soon as possible.


    More screens:

    New building icons



    one of more unsusual concepts in the mod

    Hungary and the Netherlands are taken, but the tester for the Tatars and Russia cannot continue, so now the free faction list is as follows:

    Crimean Tatars, Russia, Poland, England, Portugal, the Knights of St.John.

    I would soooo want to bagsit Poland since it is near enough me old fav faction in MTW and seeing their units in your mod makes my mouth water...
    It actually gives me some pub ammo too, as none of my MTW playing mates ever wanted to believe that Poland rose to be the dominating power in Europe at that time and their armies were head and shoulders above anyone else present on any given 17th century battlefield. Ufff, there.

    However it's christmas, innit, and I'm at my parents house, not a single MTW copy in sight and as soon as I'm back at mine (mid Jan) I have some serious work to do (that's what it's like to be old! ).

    But please, please do release the mod in New Year and if you're based in NI I'm prepared to send you a nice bunch of flowers or HMV vouchers or summat just to say thak you!!

    I think you will be delighted when the mod will be released.

    I will post some new screenshots soon including some new discoveries I have made recently.

    BTW - HMV you say, I think I have enough - the only thing I need is 24 series 1 ( I still haven't seen it, damn... and I can't this way watch the new series at all...) - I am trying to find it in the web if you know where tell me please.

    Regards Cegorach


    P.S. if you mention that Poland-Lithuania was the biggest christian country for more than 100 years ( 1385 - to around 1521 when Cortez conquered Mexico) you will see some jaws dropping to the floor level.
